We have been in Pasadena, California for three days, but since  we've been so busy it feels like much longer! Our second day here, but first day working, which was the 9th, was spent downloading the software that we would be using called APT- Astronomy Photometry Tool. It was amazingly user friendly, easy to load images, and easy to create and save data. Also, we put all of the data from observing in May and June on our computers to load into APT later. Today was spent saving photometric data on the Galaxy we are looking at, as well as neighboring stars, after dividing up into groups and being assigned a section of data. Our plan is to look at the variability of the flux of this Galaxy compared to the steady flux of the neighboring stars. This will come out to be a ratio. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post, but hopefully one of the other members of my crew will be able to upload some tonight!!
